No. 86: Maryland
By Paul Myerberg // Jun 6, 2012
The two most hated coaches in college football: the guy in charge of your biggest rival and Randy Edsall. The first coach depends on your allegiance — Auburn fans hate Nick Saban, while the Crimson Tide faithful return the favor with Gene Chizik; U.C.L.A. fans still hold Pete Carroll in contempt; Arizona and Arizona State fans are still learning about Todd Graham and Rich Rodriguez, respectively, but both sides hate what they've seen thus far. Every fan base, even parts of Maryland's own fan base, hates Randy Edsall. Casual fans hate Edsall. Plugged-in fans hate Edsall. They hate his demeanor. They hate his my-way-or-the-highway style. They hate how he drove off a fifth of Maryland's roster. They hate how he stymied Danny O'Brien's transfer before pulling back on the throttle. They hate how he took nine-win Maryland and turned it into two-win Maryland. Hate, hate, hate. Edsall's already lost the battle of public opinion, and lost it permanently, perhaps. All that's left for Edsall to do is win the war — by winning big at Maryland, making fans hate him for a whole other reason altogether.

Last year's prediction
I don't think Edsall is going to experience immediate success with the Terrapins: this team won't near last season's win total, in my mind, in part thanks to the changes that occur with any coaching change: such situations often find a team treading water, perhaps taking a step back while it adjusts to new coaching philosophies. When taken in conjunction with the losses at receiver, a lack of depth in the backfield and a few dangers spots on defense, you can see why we should tone down the expectations for Maryland in year one under Edsall. Can he get it done eventually? Say one thing for Edsall: his system would work anywhere. And it should work at Maryland. Let's take it one year at a time. For now, I think Maryland's a bowl team, but on the lower end of the bowl ladder.
2011 recap
In a nutshell With all due respect: Maryland was a disgrace. More specifically: Maryland was a disgrace after Sept. 17. The Terrapins opened with a rain-soaked win over Miami (Fla.) before hanging tight with West Virginia in a 37-31 loss, showing the same sort of play that led the team to nine wins in 2010. Then the bottom dropped out. Temple? Boston College — at home, no less? N.C. State? The hits kept coming at Maryland, fast and furious, turning a slightly promising season into one of the worst in program history. The impact: Maryland fired both its coordinators, revamped a roster chafing at Edsall's coaching style and went into the offseason with as little confidence as any team in college football. If you're looking for positives, look elsewhere. Well, here's one: Maryland moved the ball fairly well over the last third of the year, averaging roughly 5.5 yards per play over its last four games — all losses, however. Another: Edsall did have an impact on this running game, as expected, lifting the Terps for eighth to third in the A.C.C. in rushing. The negatives: Everything else.
High point A 32-24 win over Miami in the season opener. Aided by the rain and Miami's suspension-ravaged roster, but a victory nonetheless. The Terps would win one more game, against Towson, and would lose six of its final seven A.C.C. games by 11 or more points.
Low point Let's see. Boston College would notch a 28-17 win in College Park — Maryland scored twice in the fourth quarter to make the game look closer than it actually was. On Oct. 15, Maryland would take a 35-17 lead early in the third quarter over Clemson before being outscored, 39-10, over the game's final 26 minutes. It would get worse: In the season finale, Maryland blew a 41-14 third quarter lead in a 56-41 loss to N.C. State. Thirty-five unanswered points. What a way to head into the winter, huh?
Tidbit Ralph Friedgen was the second head coach in the modern era of Maryland football to post a winning season in his final year with the program, if we count only coaches who spent multiple seasons at the school — which excludes Bear Bryant. Edsall is the fourth head coach in the modern era to win two or fewer games in his debut. He joins Jack Faber, who went 2-6-1 in 1940; Bob Ward, who went 0-9 in 1967; and Ron Vanderlinden, who went 2-9 in 1997. Edsall is the first coach to lose 10 games in his first season, though I have no doubt that Ward or Vanderlinden would have posted double-digit losses if given the chance.
Tidbit (defensive edition) Maryland held only two opponents under 5.25 yards per play. That would be Georgia Tech, a 21-16 victor on Oct. 8, and N.C. State, which scored 56 points despite averaging 4.57 yards per play. Seven opponents averaged at least 5.99 yards per play, led by Clemson, which gained 7.2 yards per play. Overall, Maryland's best defensive performance came in that loss to the Yellow Jackets; the second-best, improbably enough, came against the Wolfpack. The Wolfpack's late run was aided by three Maryland turnovers, including an interception that N.C. State returned for a touchdown.

Randy Edsall ('80 Syracuse), 2-10 after his first season. Not a great start. Edsall went 74-70 over 12 years at Connecticut, leading the Huskies to the 2011 Fiesta Bowl following the program's first Big East title. Time in Storrs flew by for Edsall, who oversaw Connecticut's transition from the F.C.S. in 2000 and led the program through Independent status (2000-3) into the Big East (beginning in 2004). His first two teams on the F.B.S. level, from 2000-1, were the main contributors to his mediocre record; those teams went a combined 5-17. However, the 2002 team – the first UConn team to field a full roster of 85 scholarship players – finished 6-6, the program's best mark since winning 10 games under current South Florida coach Skip Holtz in 1998. The strong finish carried over to Edsall's last Huskies teams: UConn finished 9-3 in 2003, its final season as an Independent, and won at least eight games five times as a member of the Big East. Edsall's F.B.S. coaching experience includes stints at Syracuse (1980-90), Boston College (1991-93) and Georgia Tech (1998). With the Orange, Edsall coached the running backs (1983-4, 1986), the tight ends (1985) and the defensive backs (1987-90); this experience made him a logical choice to replace Greg Robinson in late 2008, but Edsall removed his name from consideration. It was only logical that Edsall's name would continue to be bandied about for mid-level B.C.S. conference openings along the East Coast, especially after the Huskies' successful 2010 season. Edsall found an attractive partner in Maryland, a program with more potential than Connecticut — but one with a far tougher hill to climb in order to land a B.C.S. berth. Little did Edsall know just how steep that hill would be.
Tidbit (coaching edition) Things aren't working? Try firing both coordinators. Edsall did just that, jettisoning offensive coordinator Gary Crowton and defensive coordinator Todd Bradford after one season. Edsall has no one to blame but himself: Crowton was a miserable hire, for starters, and Bradford, originally hired as Maryland's linebackers coach, was thrust into the coordinator spot after Don Brown left to join Paul Pasqualoni at Connecticut — ironic, that was. Maryland's new offensive coordinator will be Mike Locksley, an overmatched head coach with a solid track record of play-calling and recruiting the Mid-Atlantic region. The new defensive coordinator, Brian Stewart, comes to College Park after rebuilding Houston's defense as part of Kevin Sumlin's staff. The Cougars could always score; Stewart's defense provided the difference between nine wins and a push for a B.C.S. bowl. Stewart will implement a 3-4 system, as at Houston, which should lead to some growing pains for the Terps in 2012.
Players to watch
Locksley will run a multiple-set, balanced offense that should stay well within Edsall's offensive demands: run to set up the pass, not vice versa. The early results haven't been positive — though you can't blame the roster for struggling adapting to its third offense in as many years, even a system like Locksley's, which is far more direct and to the point than the offense run by his predecessor. This learning curve will continue through fall camp and likely through much of this coming season; that the Terps open with a bang doesn't help matters, but the offense should play its best football over the second half of the year.
And it's important to remember that in total, Locksley's offense jibes well with what Maryland wants to achieve on this side of the ball. One player who will fare better in this system is junior quarterback C.J. Brown, who became the unquestioned starter following O'Brien's transfer to Wisconsin. Brown even started five games in 2011, displaying the sort of dual-threat athleticism that should make him a nice fit in Locksley's offense. He rushed for at least 110 yards three times last fall, each time during A.C.C. play, and finished second on the team in rushing with 574 yards — the most by a quarterback in school history.
It's this running ability that makes Brown the Terps' best option, not his ability to throw the football in the pocket, where he remains an enormous work in progress. He completed less than 50 percent of his attempts last fall, averaging a paltry 5.1 yards per pass — a total that would have finished last in the F.B.S. by a wide, wide margin had Brown made enough attempts to qualify. He's gifted athletically but far behind the curve as a pure passer. And the Terps need Brown to stay healthy, let alone grasp the offense by the time the calendar turns to September: Maryland's depth behind Brown goes senior Ricky Schultz, a transfer from Shepherd University in West Virginia, and two true freshmen.
Maryland will need Brown to help carry the load in the running game without Davin Meggett, a steady, tried-and-true producer who ended his career with the seventh-most yards in school history. The top two at running back are sophomore Justus Pickett (274 yards) and redshirt freshman Brandon Ross. Pickett's experience might give him an edge over Ross, but the latter's size — about 205 pounds — should allow him to at least step into the role of Maryland's short-yardage back, one left vacant when would-be junior D.J. Adams transferred to Portland State.
Whether Pickett can maintain his tenuous grip on the starting role depends on two factors: one, whether his body can handle 150-plus carries; and two, whether Ross has a stronger grasp of the little details of playing the position — pass protection, for example. If he has, Ross has the frame and ability to grab the top spot on the depth chart. Maryland also added a nice prospect in true freshman Wes Brown.
Another incoming freshman, Stefon Diggs, is going to play a big role at wide receiver. Part of this stems from Diggs' own ability, which is immense, according to those who project high school talent to the next level. Another fact that helps Diggs' cause is the thin depth Maryland touts at the position, where two seniors lead the way but everything else remains very much up for debate. There's nothing wrong with the two seniors, Kevin Dorsey (45 receptions for 573 yards) and Kerry Boykins (37 for 480), though neither is going to strike fear into A.C.C. defensive backs. Maryland also has a reliable tight end in senior Matt Furstenberg (31 for 348). What the Terps need is some flash; they need a receiver capable of stretching the field and drawing double-teams.
Is Diggs going to be that good in 2012? Perhaps, though likely not until the second half of the year — though it is possible for a gifted true freshman to make a huge impact at the position, with several recent examples at our disposal. Maryland could use more consistent play out of sophomore Marcus Leak (12 for 85), who moved into the starting lineup in October but seemingly moved back to the bench nearly as fast, never to be seen again. And the Terps are hoping for a healthy season out of redshirt freshman Tyrek Cheeseboro, who sat out the spring following knee surgery. Diggs holds the key: if he's as good as advertised — good as advertised from the start — Maryland could scare opponents away from the line of scrimmage.
Maryland has the pieces up front to make a smooth transition into Stewart's 3-4 base set. The Terps also return the meat of last year's linebacker rotation, and add into the mix a few ends best suited at outside linebacker in this new system. There's a hole at cornerback, where Maryland must replace a three-year starting cornerback in Cameron Chism, but the secondary welcomes back five players who made at least three starts a season ago. Deeper, more experienced, better. You'd pencil in the Terps for a major defensive turnaround if not for the scheme change.
But in my opinion, Maryland will improve on defense despite learning a new philosophy on the fly. The defense's overall stinginess depends on how well several players adapt to new roles – senior A.J. Francis, for one. Francis, a 23-game starter over his first three years, will be tasked with the all-important role as Maryland's starting nose tackle. The defense runs through the nose; Francis, the only interior lineman seemingly capable of filling the role, will play his entire season under a spotlight.
He'll get help. Senior Joe Vellano (94 tackles, 7.5 for loss), who makes a move outside to end, is one of the best defensive linemen in college football. Productive: Vellano's 94 stops – made from tackle – were the most of any lineman in the country. And at 285 pounds, Vellano has the size to make a seamless move outside to end in the 3-4. He'll be joined at end by sophomore Keith Bowers (36 tackles, 2.5 sacks), an 11-game starter as a freshman. Bowers will be pushed for snaps by another sophomore, Andre Monroe (18 tackles, 5.0 sacks), who moves outside from tackle. Monroe could be very productive at end or inside on clear passing downs.
The Terps have a number of options at linebacker, which marks a distinct change from a season ago. Part of the depth stems from last season's ever-changing rotation: Maryland started eight different linebackers, whether due to injuries or sour play. The group's strength lies in the middle, where Stewart will team senior Demetrius Hartsfield (108 tackles) with one of two sophomores, L.A Goree (60 tackles, 6.5 for loss) and Cole Farrand. After earning honorable mention all-A.C.C. honors in 2011, Hartsfield should be in line for greater postseason accolades as the star in the middle.
A few defensive ends will move up to outside linebacker. One, junior Marcus Whitfield (11 tackles, 2.5 sacks), started the final five games of last season. He'll have a tremendous chance to move into the starting lineup on the weak side with senior Darin Drakeford (68 tackles) sidelined with academic issues; while Drakeford should be back on the field by August, it may take longer for him to work his way out of Edsall's doghouse. The favorite on the strong side, sophomore Alex Twine, fared admirably as a way-too-young true freshman thrown into the mix in 2011.
The biggest issue at safety will be finding snaps for three players with starting ability. That's a pretty good issue to have. In all likelihood, the starting pairing will be the same as it was over the first three games of last season: Matt Robinson and Eric Franklin. Robinson, a sophomore, made 36 tackles through three games before suffering a season-ending injury; at the time, that total led the A.C.C. and was tied for seventh in the country. If healthy, he'll move right back into the starting lineup, backed up by sophomore A.J. Hendy (30 tackles), a three-game starter as a freshman. The Terps could stand for Franklin (106 tackles) to do less against the run and more against the pass, but that will depend on the play of the front seven.
Maryland still needs to address the cornerback position. The defense returns one starter, junior Dexter McDougle (44 tackles, 3 interceptions), but must replace two seniors who combined to start all 12 games on the opposite side – Chism and Trenton Hughes. Not that the pair played especially well, mind you. Nevertheless, Maryland does move from senior experience opposite of McDougle to youthful inexperience. There's a great chance for JUCO transfer Isaac Goins to move into a starting role at cornerback, though he'll need to fend off sophomore Jeremiah Johnson to do so.
Position battle(s) to watch
Offensive line Maryland lost a three-year starter to graduation in left guard Andrew Gonnella, but the loss comes with an asterisk: Gonnella suffered a season-ending injury five games into last season, allowing his successor at guard, junior De'Onte Arnett, to rack up invaluable experience in the starting lineup. This is good news. Now, the bad: Maryland lost a clear all-A.C.C. contender in would-be junior left tackle Max Garcia, who opted to transfer earlier this year — his decision to transfer was lost in the O'Brien shuffle, but losing Garcia on the blind side could have an equally significant impact on the Terps' bottom line. More bad news: R.J. Dill, a rising senior, chose to spend his final season of eligibility at Rutgers.
Garcia was a foundation-level piece; his return would have greatly increased the overall potential of Maryland's offensive front. As is, Garcia's decision to transfer makes a starter out of junior Nick Klemm, Garcia's former understudy now entrenched in a key role. Is he ready? It's hard to say. Klemm, like the rest of the offense, will move into a starting role just as Locksley breaks in a new system. One thing for sure: Klemm is a downgrade from Garcia. And Dill's departure has Maryland searching for answers at right tackle; clearly, the Terps were not overly prepared for the process of finding Dill's replacement one year ahead of schedule.
At least the staff has some options at their disposal. Senior Justin Gilbert was moved out to right tackle during the spring. Another senior, Bennett Fulper, has the flexibility to swing outside from center to right guard. That would allow Maryland to start both Fulper and sophomore Sal Conaboy, the former's injury replacement over the final two weeks of last season. If Maryland goes this route, the starting five would go as follows, from left to right: Klemm, Arnett, Conaboy, Fulper and Gilbert. And the Terps would still have a few experienced linemen in reserve, such as Josh Cary and Pete White. Not terrible, right? Just imagine how solid this line would have been with Garcia and Dill on the outside.
Game(s) to watch
In all, Maryland will play 11 B.C.S. conference teams — with Temple now in the Big East, though this game was scheduled back when the Owls were still a member of the MAC. The only clear win comes in the season opener, when the Terps host William & Mary; from there, every game will be a dogfight. I think that this team should go at least 2-2 in non-conference play, however, which would leave Maryland in the position of needing to go 4-4 in A.C.C. action to reach bowl eligibility. That sounds like a tall order. So the Terps could do themselves a huge favor by starting 3-0, beating a pair of Big East teams along the way, in advance of a road date against a loaded West Virginia team. If Maryland does need three or more wins during conference play, two must come against Wake Forest and Boston College.
Season breakdown & prediction
In a nutshell Now this feels like a rebuilding year. New schemes on both sides of the ball. A new starting quarterback. A rebuilt offensive line. This is what a rebuilding year is supposed to feel like. If calling this coming season a rebuilding year does ignore last season's painful experience, then all the better: Maryland needs to put 2011 out of mind, if possible, and look ahead to starting with a fresh slate in September. That's easier said than done. How can this team turn the page? By focusing on the positives. Locksley and Stewart are substantial upgrades at offensive and defensive coordinator – Locksley's not a head coach, but he is a capable coordinator. Brown could gain 2,500 yards of total offense as the Terps' starting quarterback. Diggs could have a profound impact on Maryland's passing game, lending a degree of explosiveness not seen elsewhere at receiver. There are enough pieces up front to hit the ground running in Stewart's 3-4 system; Vellano is wonderful, Francis experienced and Hartsfield an all-conference contender. Be positive. If you want to talk negatives, consider Brown's current weaknesses as a passer, the dearth of proven options at running back, an offensive line in flux and a secondary searching for answers at cornerback. Just don't stay too long thinking about the bad news; instead, focus on the fact that Maryland will absolutely be much improved after Edsall's dreadful debut. How good can this team be? I don't think a bowl trip – by the skin of Maryland's teeth – is out of the question, though I think a safer bet is four or five wins, especially when given the difficult schedule and the changing schemes. If the Terps can get to five wins, playing better as the year wears on, I think you can call this season a success.
Dream season Maryland opens 3-0 before losing to West Virginia. The Terps bounce back to win three of their first four A.C.C. games and head into the year's final month at 6-2 – having already clinched a bowl berth. A split of four November games leaves Maryland at 8-4 heading into the postseason.
Nightmare season As in 2011, Maryland wins its season opener. And as in 2011, that win is followed by 10 losses in 11 tries. For the second straight year, Edsall and the Terps finish 2-10.

NEWARK, N.J., Feb. 16, 2013 -- The James Madison men's tennis team earned its second win of the spring Saturday afternoon with a 5-2 victory at New Jersey Institute of Technology. The Dukes are now 2-4 on the season and winners of two straight. The victory ended the Highlanders' win streak at six.
The Dukes claimed the doubles point before going 4-2 in singles play.
In doubles play, JMU and NJIT split the first two matches 1-1, leaving the third match a winner-take-all for the doubles point. Senior Ryan Pool (Melbourne, Australia/Braemar (Chattanooga)) and freshman Robert Stirling (Caboolture, Australia/St. Columbans College) took the doubles point for the Dukes after winning a 9-8(7) battle over Petr Rousar and Erik Artursson in the No. 1 position.
With the 1-0 advantage, Pool and Stirling rode their momentum into their singles matches. In the No. 1 position, Pool took down NJIT's Holger Norregaard 6-2, 6-4, and Stirling claimed a 7-6(6), 6-1 victory over Andres Alban in the No. 3 slot. Pool gained his 15th singles win of the year, and Stirling moved to .500 (9-9).
Senior Bastien Russo (Lyon, France/Notre Dame des Minimes (Shorter)) won his first singles match of the weekend, gutting out a three-set victory over Fraser Croad. Russo was off to a good start with a 6-2 win in set one, but Croad charged back for a 6-4 win in set two. With the singles point on the line, Russo came out on top 14-12 in set three to claim his first spring victory at the No. 6 position.
Rounding out the singles points for JMU was senior Florent Sentenac (Borderes, France/Lycee Theophile Gautier (Auburn Montgomery)). Sentenac defeated Rousar 7-5, 6-4 at the No. 4 position to improve his spring record to 2-2.
JMU travels to Fairfax, Va., on March 2 for a league match at George Mason. The first serve is at 1 p.m.

Games to be televised by ABC or ESPN (to be determined at a later time), and the door may be opening for a potential prime time game at Wisconsin on November 15.
The running gag about Nebraska's head coach and a cat went to epic levels when Pelini and a cat led the Huskers onto the field for the Spring Game. It lightens up a tarnished public image for a coach beloved by his players.
Assuming the NFL regular season kicks off the first weekend in September, we're only 147 days away from some meaningful football! The good news is the St. Louis Rams are only 25 days away from the 2014 NFL Draft. What is the team up to in mid-April
With less than a month before the 2014 NFL Draft, the St. Louis Rams are setting up meetings with some of college football's finest...
Mel Kiper Jr. takes a different approach to his mock draft today. Instead of projecting the picks, he puts himself in the GM's position. How'd he do for the Rams?
The now-former broadcaster is leaving ESPN to try to revitalize the Arkansas women's basketball program.
The St. Louis Rams are the P Diddy…err…Puff Daddy of the 2014 NFL Free Agency Period. They may be fashionably late to the party, but they can't stop…won't stop… Uh-uh, Uh-uh
Can you hear that? It's my heart tearing itself into pieces once again while trying to decide between Teddy Bridgewater, Khalil Mack, and Jadeveon Clowney. Bridgewater working the whiteboard with Jon Gruden certainly doesn't make this any easier.
This game should have been another confrontation between two star centers in the NHL, but it's another game (this season) robbed of that by way of injury.

Music by James Fenwick: Classical Guitar
Exhibit Through July 28, 2012
Tyler's medium of choice is the wax based technique of Encaustic. This little known method of painting, originated by the Greeks, gets its name from the word "enkaustikos" meaning "to heat" or "to burn". The medium is comprised of melted wax mixed with pigment. This method gives the painting a unique look with rich textures. Tyler's encaustic painting on canvas, called "Venus", 84" x 62" is currently in the collection of the Hotel Modera, hanging in the hotel's lobby (which can be seen from the street) in downtown Portland,Oregon on the corner of S. W. 5th and S.W. Clay Streets.
Karl layers different colors of encaustic, manipulating the wax through scraping, using impressions and smoothing techniques, then carving into deep multi-colored layers bringing a richness and complexity to his work. His most recent series resembles impressionistic landscapes. Karl just won a blue ribbon at the Lake Oswego Festival of The Arts in the open exhibit for one of his encaustic landscapes.
Sheary Clough Suiter's unique, imaginative encaustic painting style incorporates both figurative images and abstract design. She paints to express inner feelings and emotions, rather than to portray outer reality in an accurate, rational manner. Sheary is included in the Permanent Collection of the Anchorage, Alaska Museum of Art and has received many awards funded by the Alaska State Council on Arts.

But if Medicaid isn't expanded, the state's hospitals could come up a quarter-billion dollars short by 2020, as the federal government pulls back on incentives for treating uninsured patients in emergency rooms.
"That's the massive thing that often isn't discussed," said David Becker, a professor of health economics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Expansion of Medicaid, the joint state-and-federal health insurance program for people in poverty, has become an increasing point of partisan controversy.
Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, popularly known as Obamacare, states originally were required to expand their Medicaid programs to eligible people with incomes at or below 133 percent of the federal poverty level. (Many states, including Alabama, now cover only people below the poverty line, or $23,550 for a family of four.)
But the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the part of the law that made the expansion mandatory, giving governors the option to reject it.
Gov. Robert Bentley did just that. Citing the state's growing cost for Medicaid, he said he couldn't expand the program. At $615 million per year, the price tag for the state's share of Medicaid has more than doubled since 2008. Lawmakers may move to overhaul the program this year, and Bentley said he wouldn't expand the program in its current state.
"We believe we can make this system much better," Bentley said last week. "Do we have the ability to expand Medicaid from 938,000 to another 400,000 people? We really can't afford that right now."
A UAB study found that the expansion would likely add around 300,000 new clients, though UAB's estimates range as high as half a million new clients.
Democrats maintain that the state can't afford not to expand. Noting that the federal government will pick up the tab for the initial years of the expansion, and 90 percent of the bill thereafter, Democrats say the governor is passing up a chance to bring billions of dollars into the state's economy — nearly $20 billion in the next six years, to be exact.
"This is bigger than Airbus," said Democratic Sen. Roger Bedford last week, citing the airplane manufacturer the state recently recruited to Mobile.
Growing pains
But like Airbus, the Medicaid expansion is an economic opportunity that would require the state to bump up its infrastructure.
"You would like to think that with more people being covered, more doctors would accept Medicaid," said UAB health economics professor Michael Morrisey. "Ultimately that depends on other factors, such as how well they're reimbursed."
Morrisey is a co-author, with Becker, of the UAB study the Democrats used to make their $20 billion claim. That study found that with the expansion, the federal government would give around $11.7 billion in additional money to the state's medical providers, with an additional impact of $8.1 billion outside doctors' offices.
"Those dollars get paid to the doctor's office or the drugstore or staff salaries, and those people turn around and buy other things," Morrisey said.
That implies that there will be new doctors, new nurses and new staff at work in Alabama to meet the new demand for services. But will there be?
"It's an open question," Morrisey said. "There's a chance there will be difficulty finding new providers."
Alabama now has one doctor for about every 200 residents, according to the Association of American Colleges of Medicine, or AACM. That lands Alabama among the 10 states where doctors are most scarce. The other nine, a band of states across the Deep South and a cluster in the Northwest, have also mostly opted out of the expansion.
Alabama could recruit more doctors from other states, but competition could be fierce in the future. The AACM predicts a shortage of 45,000 patient-care doctors nationwide by 2020.
"We don't even have enough doctors to treat the people who are covered right now," said Chris Mitchell, director of federal affairs for the AACM. Mitchell said the aging of baby boomers has swelled the ranks of patients, while as much as one-third of the physician workforce could retire soon.
Compared to the baby boom effect, she said, the Medicaid expansion would be small, but would add to the number of people seeking medical attention from primary care doctors.
State Health Officer Don Williamson said that in the short term, an expansion would lead to longer wait times at the offices of doctors where Medicaid is accepted.
"An insurance card is not the same as guaranteed access to health care," Williamson said.
Dr. Jean Ferdinand, a Heflin physician, isn't deterred by the possibility of more patients waiting for the current supply of Medicaid doctors.
"We need to expand, because we have people without insurance who aren't getting care," he said. "They're dying."
Ferdinand said the best solution to recruiting more Medicaid doctors is to increase the reimbursement for doctors who take Medicaid.
That's not likely to happen soon. In budget hearings in Montgomery, the idea of actually decreasing the reimbursement has been mentioned as a possible cost-saving measure, but it's only one of a number of options being discussed.
In recent years, the state has begun programs to recruit and train more doctors who are committed to work in Alabama. Williamson, the health director, warned it could take some time for those programs to have an effect on the physician population. Medical school, he noted, takes a long time.
"If you're trying to fill the gap that exists, you're looking at a seven- to 10-year lead time," he said.
UAB's Becker says the doctor shortage, while real, may just be a bump in the road. A similar problem was predicted in Massachusetts, the first state to adopt an Obamacare-like system.
"The evidence in Massachusetts is that the shortage wasn't as bad as people predicted," he said. "It's something that can be managed."
There's a chance the state could face a worsened doctor shortage without the Medicaid expansion, Becker said, as Medicaid providers leave the state in favor of other states with a broader patient base. A lot would depend on whether neighboring states expand the system, he noted.
Costly sniffles
Jim Carnes said the Medicaid expansion, if it happened, could save the government money — and help working people with low incomes — by giving more people a chance to see a doctor regularly.
"If you have insurance, you don't go to the emergency room with the sniffles," said Carnes, a member of the Medicaid Advisory Commission, appointed by the governor to recommend changes to Medicaid. Carnes, who works for the group Alabama Arise, was appointed to the board to represent Medicaid consumers.
When uninsured people do go to emergency rooms, the hospital helps them, and Medicaid reimburses the hospitals. But under the Affordable Care Act, those payments, known as "disproportionate share," will shrink.
Morrisey said the smaller disproportionate share payments were intended to go hand-in-hand with Medicaid expansion.
"There cuts go into effect whether we expand Medicaid or not," Morrisey said. "Without expansion, hospitals will see the same number of uninsured patients, but will be paid less."
How much less? UAB's Becker said hospitals could be out $250 million by 2020 if Medicaid doesn't expand.
The gap will be a "huge issue" for hospitals, said UAB's Becker.
Attempts to reach officials of Regional Medical Center and Stringfellow Memorial Hospital in Anniston for comment on the change were unsuccessful.
Rosemary Blackmon, spokeswoman for the Alabama Hospital Association, said the disproportionate share issue is something hospitals are concerned about. The association has asked the governor to expand Medicaid, though she said the group recognizes that Bentley isn't likely to do that without Medicaid reform.
Blackmon said the reform proposal currently on the table — reorganizing the program into regional sections that run like managed care organizations — could reduce at least some of the demand on emergency rooms. That program would provide more case management for Medicaid patients, ideally directing them to primary-care doctors when they might otherwise go to the ER.
"It links providers together to give them more coordinated care," she said.
Becker, of UAB, said Bentley's proposed reforms seem to make sense. Becker is from Oregon, the state Bentley's reforms were modeled on, and he said the system works. Still, he wonders why the state doesn't reform and expand at the same time. The federal government will pick up the full tab for the expansion only through 2016, he said, which means a delay could cause the state to miss years when the state cost of expansion is minimal.
"In practical terms, if you're going to expand, it makes no sense not to expand in the first three years," he said.

Maine probably will have a newly organized lobster marketing and promotion group by 2014, but it still isn't clear exactly how lobstermen, dealers and processors will be tapped for the industry's portion of a projected budget of $13 million, spread over the next five years.
The marketing effort has garnered support from the state in legislation for a potential allocation of $1 million for its first year of promotional and marketing work, aimed at raising the price of lobster at the docks.
That funding proposal has been passed by both the House and the Senate, and now awaits final passage in the Senate on their appropriations table, said Rep. Walter Kumiega, D-Deer Isle. It may or may not receive funding from that source, he said.
Lawmakers now are trying to put finishing touches on a thoroughly vetted measure that would allocate another $1 million to the marketing effort in the first year, $2 million in the second and $3 million in each of the next three years.
The revenue would come from fees tied to licenses covering every sector of the lobster industry, including harvesters, dealers, processors and transporters.
Legislators on the Marine Resources Committee voted unanimously Wednesday to send an amended version of the original proposal, L.D. 486, to the Legislature with a recommendation to pass it.
Lawmakers still are debating the details of how to divvy up the cost of the marketing and promotions collaborative, as the quasi-public marketing organization would be known.
Most lobstermen can expect to pay about double what they now pay for licenses, said Rep. Wayne Parry, R-Arundel, a lobsterman.
Lawmakers are still struggling with how to split the costs among the remaining sectors of the lobster industry.
The committee agreed in theory to have the Department of Marine Resources return May 22 with the final language of the bill, including cost allocations for members to review one last time.
"And then we'll see," said Rep. Jeremy Saxton, D- Harpswell. "And then we'll see."
If lawmakers are still not satisfied with the fee schedule, the committee can vote to reconsider Wednesday's vote and amend the proposal again.
Or they can table the measure into eternity, as one member quipped.
"If they just can't stand it," said Rep. Windol Weaver, R-York, with a laugh.
The remaining hurdle is to find an equitable way to allot the costs to dealers, whose enterprises vary substantially in size and sales.
Committee members balked at finalizing numbers Wednesday before they could see a tiered fee system that would take into account the size of a dealer's operations.
The concern reflects an attempt to protect smaller dealers from having to pay the same fees as large operations, said Parry.
"This (legislation) is completely different from anything else we've voted on," said Saxton. "It's not our money. We should not be forcing people to (do this) just because we think it's a good idea for them."
The new fee structure, if it is passed by the Legislature, would take effect in 2014.

Correction: This story was revised at 12:26 p.m., May 16, 2013, to correctly spell the name of Rep. Jeremy Saxton, D- Harpswell, and to identify the Joint Committee on Marine Resources as the panel that voted unanimously to send an amended version of L.D. 486 to the Legislature with a recommendation to pass it.
Because of incorrect information provided to the Press Herald, the story failed to note that a proposed $1 million appropriation for the promotion collaborative is awaiting final passage in the Senate.Tweet

Practice Test Free has created a new range of SAT test papers that will help students to prepare for their real life examinations, based on real college admission papers.
Seattle, WA, United States of America – January 16, 2014 /MarketersMedia/ —
The SAT is a test used to determine college admissions for students, and takes three hours and forty minutes to test students on a variety of reasoning exercises across critical reading, writing and mathematics and calculator use. The SAT test currently costs almost fifty dollars to take, so it's understandable that most students want to get the best grade they can first time round, and yet it can take several tests for students to begin to feel comfortable with the format and know what is expected of them. Practice Tests Free has developed a new free SAT test software that will allow students to reach this comfort zone before having to pay to be examined.
The free SAT practice test is actually part of an application that allows individuals to test themselves on the areas in which they are weakest or take a full exam. The app allows only the time allowed in a real SAT test and allows users to take the full test or to pick from one of the five categories students are examined on so they can focus their energies on parts of the test where their knowledge is weaker.
The app is freely available to download and comes with an unlimited usage license so can be used to take practice tests as often as the user wishes.
A spokesperson for Practice Tests Free explained, "We have created this free SAT exam to answer all the needs of the modern student for mock papers. Many schools still only distribute one or two of these papers and in paper format, whereas the app allows students to take a test generated from thousands of possible SAT questions at random, so they will have the most robust knowledge possible when it comes to taking the tests for real."
About Practice Tests Free:
Practice Tests Free offers a huge collection of online practice tests for a wide variety of different educational and aptitude based qualifications, helping individuals to get to grips with the kinds of questions they will be asked when it comes to the real test. These resources provide an ideal way in which for people to prepare and test their study and readiness ahead of the real test.

Nightmarish journey in anti-western SURVEYOR (2011)
Set in the mid-1800s, Blake's film follows a surveyor as he pushes West, forging a path for settlers and the American government. Amidst stunning widescreen visuals there's a terse shoot-out with a villainous stranger, a hallucinatory, tragic finale, and an overall air of mystery and introspection. Director Scott Blake calls his short film Surveyor an "anti-western", and it's easy to see why. There's really quite a bit to like here, and I think he shows a lot of promise with many of the choices that he makes in the shooting of this film.
Top 10 films in Public Domain (Wired)
The 2006 October issue of Wired magazine chooses the 10 best movies in the public domain that you must watch. We've updated the list with much more info and with all the movies so you can decide were they worth it. Don't forget to leave a vote in the Poll.
1) Detour (1945)
Snappy dialog, femme fatale, guilt-ridden hero, flimsy sets – it's protonoir that helped launch a genre.
The film was adapted by Martin Goldsmith and Martin Mooney (uncredited) from Goldsmith's novel of the same name and was directed by Edgar G. Ulmer. The 68-minute film was released by the Producers Releasing Corporation (PRC), one of the so-called "poverty row" film studios in mid-twentieth century Hollywood.
Although made on a small budget with bare sets and straightforward camera work, Detour has gathered much praise through the years and is held in high regard. In 1992, Detour was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
2) Driller Killer (1979)
An artist slowly goes insane while struggling to pay his bills, work on his paintings, and care for his two female roommates, which leads him taking to the streets of New York after dark and randomly killing derelicts with a power drill. This film was sometimes confused with the 1948 dance hit Killer Diller.
The Driller Killer is a 1979 horror film directed by and starring Abel Ferrara. It was on a list of banned so-called video nasties in the United Kingdom.
The film was released in the US in 1979, the UK in 2002, and on 10 June 2010 it was re-released as video on demand (VOD). The film is now in the public domain as it was never registered in the United States Copyright Office database.
3) Night of the Living Dead (1968)
George Romero's gritty classic out-brains the avalanche of zombie flicks it inspired. Mmm ... brains.
Night of the Living Dead is an American independent horror film directed by George A. Romero, starring Duane Jones, Judith O'Dea and Karl Hardman. It premiered on October 1, 1968, and was completed on a US$114,000 budget. The film became a financial success, grossing $12 million domestically and $18 million internationally. Night of the Living Dead was heavily criticized at its release owing to explicit content, but eventually garnered critical acclaim and has been selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry as a film deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant." The film has entered the public domain due to an error by the distributor.
The story follows characters Ben (Duane Jones), Barbra (Judith O'Dea), and five others trapped in a rural farmhouse in Pennsylvania which is attacked by "living dead" monsters known as zombies. Night of the Living Dead was the basis of five subsequent Living Dead films (1978-2010) also directed by Romero and has inspired two remakes (1990, 2006)
Well-made stop-motion short PLUTO AND THE VESSEL (2013)
"Pluto and the Vessel" is a short animated film by Harrison Browning. It was created using a combination of clay, object, and puppet animation. The work exists simultaneously as both homage to early science fiction horror flicks and as a personal contemplation on the impossible differentiation between containers and their contents.
Watch Well-made stop-motion short PLUTO AND THE VESSEL (2013)
Wonderful Sci-Fi Film DR. EASY (2013)
The UK visual artist collective Shynola's short movie about a futuristic medical robot forced to negotiate with a holed-up gunman. This short was written and directed by Jason Groves, Richard Kenworthy, and Christopher Harding, and it serves as a prologue for a planned feature film adaptation of the Matthew De Abaitua's book The Red Men.

3898 California St, San Francisco, CA | Directions 9411837.785689 -122.459167
Neighborhoods: Northwest, Lake Street
Superior Service – I recently took my Audi to T&R for some work on the engine. Until then, Royal Motors had been servicing my car for 8 years. Royal Motors always charged a ton of money, even for minor repairs.
T&R fixed my car the same day. I do not know what the mechanics did, but my car runs better than ever. T&R charged me much less than what Royal Motors estimated for the repairs. I trust T8R and I feel like I finally found THE place for maintaining my car.
Best of the best automotive center – I always pass California street and saw so many exclusive cars like ferrari and other european cars and I think maybe the technicians of this station are profesional and I will try one time for my car 1991 VW Jetta.
And it is true, if I compare to dealer, I save a lot of money because dealer charged me more expensive in labor. The service of this station is great, on time and the people also very nice & polite, one of my best friend also said the same when he has his electrical problem for his BMW 525i.
Good service/value – I've had minor work done on my 2003 Audi A4 there...definitely better value than the dealership. Convenient location as well.
Great Service! – Outstanding service on my Ferrari. Tony is extremely professional and thorough. I am very lucky to have found him. I would highly recommend him!
Great Service – Excellent Service, friendly. will use this facility again. Very helpful and seem to pinpoint the problem very quickly and fix it. Two thumbs up
I hope this place is the most awesome autoshop in San Francisco. – Seems like a good shop. Only thing is, to get the 10% discount on labor, they made me write this review before getting my truck back. Defeats the whole purpose of rating. I certainly hope it's a five star rating. And after getting my truck back, it is, and I can come back in here and give them a proper rating, I will.
Saved my car and my trip – I was planning to go to Tahoe on a Friday and had a serious problem with the brakes on my Merecedes SUV. I knew if I take it to the dealer it was going to stay there for several days. Based on a friend's recommedation, I took it to T&R Automotive center. These guys are great. Not only they fixed the problem the same day, but also checked out the car and made sure it is suitable to drive in the snow, Great service. Saved my trip to Tahoe!!!! Thank you T&R . Will come back with all my service needs.!!!!
Excellent Service – I have been repairing my car at T&R Automotive center for 4 years. As a copnsumer, it is important to recognize exeptional services and expertise. I have been extremely satisfied with the quality and professionalism of the crew at this repair shop. I strongly recommend it.
Best of the Best – Best and most professional Repair facility I have been to. Better service than the dealership. Tony took care of my M5 BMW and found things that the dealership had missed. The attention to detail at T & R is rare to find. Finally I found a repair facility that treats my car like one of their own. Every porblem and issue was pointed out and shown to me before the work was done. Very professional. I highly recommend this repair facility. They even carry all the original oil , coolant and fluids for my M5.
Experts in Diagnostics and Repairs. – I own a 2003 MBZ S500. A friend of mine suggested that I should try servicing it at T & R 76 instead of the dealer. I decided to give this facility a try, and I was amazed at the level of expertise that they have. T & R 76 technicians were very precise and efficient in diagnosing the check engine light problem and were able to repair the problem within the same day. My car would have stayed at the dealership for several days for a similar issue. Thank you T & R 76, I will surely recommend you to my friends!!

puddletag is an audio tag editor (primarily created) for GNU/Linux similar to the Windows program, Mp3tag. Unlike most taggers for GNU/Linux, it uses a spreadsheet-like layout so that all the tags you want to edit by hand are visible and easily editable.
The usual tag editor features are supported like extracting tag information from filenames, renaming files based on their tags by using patterns and basic tag editing.
Then there're Functions, which can do things like replace text, trim it, do case conversions, etc. Actions can automate repetitive tasks. Doing web lookups using Amazon (including cover art), Discogs (does cover art too!), FreeDB and MusicBrainz is also supported. There's quite a bit more, but I've reached my comma quota.
Supported formats: ID3v1, ID3v2 (mp3), MP4 (mp4, m4a, etc.), VorbisComments (ogg, flac), Musepack (mpc), Monkey's Audio (.ape) and WavPack (wv).

Excellent for managing my FLAC library's Vorbis comments. I used both EasyTAG and Ex Falso extensively before switching to puddletag, and since the switch haven't looked back. Couldn't be happier with this program!
Its simply great! Should be in the repositories
puddletag works nicely
Great software, thanks puddletag

Fighting spam and viruses with Sendmail
A structured approach to Sendmail helps to maximize your spam and virus protection.
The versatile Sendmail Mail Transport Agent (MTA) offers several approaches to managing the virus and spam epidemic. This article introduces three workable anti-spam and anti-virus scenarios before finishing with a discussion of a radical approach that more or less entirely eliminates spam. The discussion assumes you have some basic familiarity with how to configure Sendmail. I will concentrate on practical add-on tools. Certain internal Sendmail configuration settings [1], as well as prevention strategies such as blacklists, also help to fight malware, though these techniques rarely provide a complete solution. For more information on configuring Sendmail, see the summary of sources at the Sendmail website [2].

For example: a letter writer to the San Francisco Chronicle recently wrote, "Given the damning report by former FBI director Louis Freeh concluding that coach Joe Paterno and top officials at Penn State covered up child sexual abuse by assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, the Paterno statue outside the football stadium should be pulled down and tossed in the dump."
Furthermore, Penn State should strip Paterno's name from the university library and stop selling Peachy Paterno ice cream at the university creamery.
As for the NCAA, it must pronounce the "death penalty," banning all Penn State football games this fall.
Only such severity will show Penn State and the nation that humane behavior is far more important than football games, even ones that draw 106,000 spectators to home games as Penn State does.
It is doubtful, however, that the NCAA will have the courage to crack down on such heinous criminality.
The NCAA easily sanctioned the tiny, virtually unheard of Caltech of Pasadena for a frivolous and technical violation (course shopping). It's quite another matter to sanction a football powerhouse like Penn State.
Caltech is merely one of the world's great engineering schools. Its students are first, last and always students. Athletics are an afterthought, as they should be. The school, which has lost 227 baseball games in a row, has fewer than 1,000 undergrads.
In contrast, Penn State has 45,000 students. Its football prowess is renowned. Paterno teams in his 46 years as head coach won 409 games (a Division I record), captured two national championships, had five undefeated seasons and appeared in 37 bowl games.
NCAA president Mark Emmert said he had "never seen anything as egregious" as the pedophilia scandal at Penn State.
It may be the worst scandal ever to hit college athletics. Hence, punishment must fit the crime.
New York Times columnist Joe Nocera pointed out: "No university should ever be beholden to its football team as Penn State was. A great university sold its soul to its football team."
Tim Dahlberg, Associated Press sports columnist, is rightly adamant: Anything less than the suspension of the Penn State football schedule will strip the NCAA "of the last bit of credibility it has as the watchdog of college football."
The 267-page Freeh report said that Paterno intervened to stop a plan by his theoretical superiors, the university president and the athletic director, to reveal the horrible truth.
"Paterno and the authorities repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky's child abuse," Freeh reported. "They did so to avoid the consequences of bad publicity."
Freeh concluded that school officials showed a "callous and shocking disregard for child victims."
So much for the Paterno motto: "Winning with honor."
Saint Joe, a veritable godlike figure. Penn State diehards insist his legacy is not tarnished, that "we all make mistakes."
But the cover-up was more than "just a mistake." It was a shameful dereliction of duty, a total abandonment of a morality.
A New York Times article, headlined "Paterno Got Richer Contract Amid Inquiry," revealed the incredible greed of Paterno and his family.
Paterno got an obscene amount for merely coaching. His salary revealed the woeful priorities prevailing at Penn State and colleges all over the country.
Penn State agreed to pay him $3 million for the 2011 season. It wiped out $350,000 in interest-free loans it had granted him over the years. It gave him use of the school's private plane.
It authorized a luxury box for him and his family at the campus stadium for 25 years. It even yielded to family demands to use the university hydrotherapy massage equipment.
Total package: about $5.5 million. This does not count another million reaped from TV deals and shoe and clothing contracts.
Legal experts in Pennsylvania said Paterno could have faced charges of child endangerment, perjury and conspiracy.
Even after Paterno died in January, an Altoona, Pa., lawyer, Richard Serbin, noted: "Wrongful conduct is not excused by death. The estate becomes representative of that person. Assets of the estate remain exposed to any verdict or judgment."
Memory is seared by the testimony of an assistant coach who saw Sandusky rape a child. Yet officials deemed Penn State too big to fail.
Highton is an emeritus journalism professor at the University of Nevada, Reno. He can be contacted at email@example.com. Highton graduated from Penn State in 1953. As a senior he covered the football team as the sports editor of the student newspaper. Paterno was then a young assistant coach.
